Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Restoration of woodland caribou to the Lake Superior region
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) historically occupied the boreal forest zone across the North American continent. The distribution and abundance of the species has declined in the past century. In particular, it has been extirpated from much of the southern limits of its historical range on both sides of the boundary between Canada and the

ABSTRACT Rationale Populations of North American caribou and Eurasian reindeer (Rangifer tarandus sspp.), essential for Arctic ecosystems and human communities, are experiencing unprecedented declines due to climate change and anthropogenic pressures. While understanding their historical resilience and demographic dynamics is critical for conservation,

Contemporary Management of Human‐Caused Hybridization in Mammals: A Review
By reviewing studies on human‐mediated (i.e., anthropogenic) hybridization, we identify key management gaps, including inconsistent identification of admixed individuals, limited population‐level assessments, insufficient social engagement, and unclear management objectives.

Sex, Age, and Skull Morphology Effects on Eye Size and Refractive Errors in Reindeer
We tested the hypothesis that male reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) with larger skeletal dimensions, would have larger eyes and narrower binocular overlap, but similar refractive errors compared to females. After controlling for differences in skeletal measures, males were found to have relatively smaller eyes than females, whereas binocular ...

The home ranges, core areas, and daily distances traveled of 10 collared roe deer in the agricultural landscape of east‐central Poland were analyzed. We demonstrated the dependence of the home range size and daily distance on natural and anthropogenic factors. We first demonstrated a relationship between home range size and the wind farm impacts on roe
